Welcome to the state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) program at Northwest Hospital. HBOT is a precise medical treatment that speeds up the healing process for many people suffering from chronic wounds that won't heal with routine treatments.

Friendly and professional staff members greet patients when they arrive to register for their daily treatments. Once they've signed in, patients can relax in the quiet, comfortable waiting area until they are called for treatment.

Each chamber is a see-through wide tube. A comfortable stretcher easily slides into the chamber. During the sessions, patients can watch TV or videos on a monitor which is just outside the chamber. They can also listen to music through speakers that feed into the chamber or just relax. Specially chosen artwork on the walls is designed to encourage restful images.

This outpatient therapy is painless. However, a patient may feel a fullness in the ears that happens when there is a change in pressure. Dramatic results can be seen in one to six weeks after the start of the HBOT treatment. Northwest Hospital is determined to continue its already strong presence as a community hospital with the latest technology.
